Masquerade

The doorbell rang and my daddy called

He says there’s something on the porch

In glitter addressed to me

Mystery invite to a ball

Conceal your face in black rhinestones

And the dress picked out by me

Trace my hands

Under your mask

And I think it’s you

Cos you weren’t surprised

When I showed up

In country boots

At the masquerade

Where I can’t see your face

Conceal away the scars

Disguise my beating heart

Throw the mask away

That’s what I wish I’d say

Forever in your arms

And I don’t know who you are

We danced until no one was left

I laid my head upon your chest

And you walked me to the door

I waited as you drove away

Hoping that you’d reveal your face

Cos we’re not there anymore

At the masquerade

Where I can’t see your face

Conceal away the scars

Disguise my beating heart

Throw the mask away

That’s what I wish I’d say

Forever in your arms

And I don’t know who you are

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And I’d run home everyday

Hoping for an invitation

A stupid masquerade that would never come

And I hope I’m good at guessing

Your name and address

Cos I left you a note that I think you’d want

Meet me

At the masquerade

Oh, Oh

Meet me

At the masquerade

I hope I see your face

Don’t care about the scars

They can’t scare my beating heart

Throw the mask away

You don’t need it today

Forever in your arms

Cos I know who you are

Now I know who you are
